      Hi All,

      Recently I've added different regions (website.com/se/ etc) to Google search console and pointed them to their relevant countries, but only half are working when I search from a regions IP with a VPN and use the correct Google search ( Google.se etc ). Will this correct over time? or is something else causing them not to be indexed up correctly?

      Thanks in advance

        Hi Thomas,

        So you're saying you've added all of your language specific subfolders (and have specified language targeting) but you aren't receiving Google Search Console data for all of them? e.g impressions, clicks, keywords.

        Can I just ask what your overall strategy is here with the localisation? From taking a quick peak, I can see that you basically have English versions targeted at different countries; which elements have you specifically tailored to each country?

        Hreflang and scaling is never easy and I can't say definitely, but it seems like you might have duplicated quite a lot of your efforts here.

        Surely it might make more sense to make English the x-default/internalisation version and then ensure each page is translated into the target language e.g Italian or Estonian.

        Kind regards,

        Nick
